Description
WO 99/SS f63 PGT/SE99IoU0703 The present invention relates to a method of dividing a formed paper web into at least two part-webs during production of creped paper in a paper machine comprising a wet section for forming said paper web and a drying section having a rotating cylinder around which the formed paper web runs in adhering contact with an adhesive coating on the envelope surface of the cylinder.
The invention also relates to a device for dividing a formed paper web into at least two part-webs in a paper machine far producing creped paper, said machine comprising a wet section for forming said paper web and a drying section having a rotating cylinder around which the formed paper web is arranged to run in adhering contact with an adhesive coating on the envelope surface of the cylinder.
The invention also relates to a paper machine for producing creped paper, said machine comprising a wet section for. forming said paper web, a drying section having a rotating cylinder around which the formed paper web is arranged to run in adhering contact with an _adhesive coating on the envelope surface of the cylinder, and a device for dividing the formed paper web into at least two part-webs.
A paper web formed in a paper machine has varying width and its edges are uneven as regards straightness, thickness and grammage. Tt is therefore necessary to edge-trim the paper web during some part of the manufacturing process. A number of different techniques have been proposed in order to achieve a paper web with straight edges and having predetermined width.
WO 99/58763 PCT/SE99/00'103 According to known technology edge-trimming is performed when the finished, reeled paper web is rewound in a rewinder. The waste of dried paper that is formed during this edge trimming is extremely voluminous, which complicates its collection and removal to be re-dissolved in water and returned to the paper manufacturing process.
According to another known technology edge trimming occurs in the paper machine at a point between the drying section and the reel-up, with the aid of high-pressure water squirts, air squirts, rotating knives or rotating saw blades. This technology thus requires installation of extra equipment in the extremely limited space available between the drying section and the reel-up.
According to yet other known technology the~edge trimming occurs in the wet section of the paper machine, before the drying section. Through US-A-2,686,463 and US-A-2,709,398, thus, it is known to trim the edges of a paper web on a fourdrinier wire with the aid of water squirts so that it is divided into an edge-trimmed web, and couch trimmings, after which the edge-trimmed web is removed from the wire for transfer to the drying section, while the couch trimmings shall be prevented from reaching the drying section. However, it has been found that this technology cannot be used for paper grades having low grammages, such as soft paper, since the couch trimmings adheres to the pickup felt used for removing the edge-trimmed web and therefore tends to accompany it to the drying section.
In a twin wire former it is in practice known to perform edge trimming of the paper web while it is supported by one of the forming fabrics at a point immediately before the pickup means. Water jets are generally used for edge trimming, these jets encountering the paper web with relatively high pressure to produce an edge trimming and an edge-trimmed web. One drawback is that, after having divided the paper web, the water jets spread, splashing water around the whole area. If the supporting fabric is a felt, as in the case of a crescent former, there is considerable risk of fibers and fiber fragments being pressed into the felt. The pressure of the water jets must be limited in order to reduce the risk of their damaging the felt. In spite of these measures, however, the water jets gradually cause wear on the felt and this wear may affect the paper web, causing edge rupture and consequent risk of web rupture. The felt also becomes wetter along the dividing lines formed by the water jets than over the rest of the felt, which may cause problems since the drying cylinder becomes wetter opposite these dividing lines than over other parts of the envelope surface of the drying cylinder, thereby incurring problems with corrosion and deposits. The water jet from the squirt tubes may also easily cause the paper edge to thicken around the water jets and this thickening may result in deterioration of the adhesion to the drying cylinder at the edge portions of the paper web. The envelope surface also becomes hotter opposite the dividing lines, which may cause the paper web to become detached from the envelope surface. To solve these problems and provide a paper web with straight edges and of a predetermined width in a crescent former, therefore, the outer forming fabric may be provided with impermeable edge portions, as described in US-A-3,652,390. The inner parallel edges of said edge portions facing each other thus determine the width of the finished paper web, and said width is chosen dependent on the grade of soft paper to be manufactured. When the manufacture of soft paper is to be changed from one grade to another, e.g. from tissue to towelling paper, the width of the finished paper must be changed in order to avoid undesirable losses during conversion of the paper web to the desired final products. To enable such a change in manufacture from one WO 99/SS'163 PCT/SE99/00703 sort to another sort, the outer forming fabric of the crescent former must be dismantled and replaced by another forming fabric with a different width between the impermeable edge portions. This exchange is laborious, time-consuming and entails undesired loss of production.
Increased costs for forming fabrics are also incurred, as well as space for their storage. To solve the problems inherent in the technologies used in the twin-wire former described, EP-0 654 101 proposes cutting a paper web formed in a twin-wire former with a jet cutter at a point on the forming roll where the recently formed paper web and the forming fabrics together enclose the forming roll in a sandwich structure. This technology entails a limitation of the choice of forming wires since the water jets must have sufficient force to pass through the wire and the paper web. There is then a risk of the surface of the opposite felt being damaged. The felt also becomes wetter at the dividing lines formed by the water jets than at other parts of the felt, which may cause problems since the drying cylinder becomes wetter opposite these dividing lines than other parts of the envelope surface of the drying cylinder, thus involving problems of corrosion and deposits. The envelApe suxface also becomes hotter opposite the dividing lines, which may cause the paper web to become detached from the envelope surface.
US-A-1,279,756, US-A-2,857,822 and US-A-4,560,438 may be mentioned as other examples of patent specifications describing edge trimming in a paper machine before the drying section.
Slitter-winders are used for dividing a paper web in the longitudinal direction, in which slitter-winder the narrower webs obtained through longitudinal slitting are wound to reels. Dividing a paper web through longitudinal slitting can also be performed in the paper machine at a point between the drying section and the reel-up using equipment similar to that used in the edge trimming described above, in the same position.
The object of the present invention is to essentially 5 reduce the problems discussed in the known technologies for edge trimming a paper web and dividing the web to obtain several creped webs and to provide a completely new technique for dividing a formed paper web, said technique making it possible to divide the paper web into several part-webs to obtain edge trimmings and/or several creped paper webs.
The method according to the invention is characterized in that the formed paper web is divided in its longitudinal direction in conjunction with said cylinder by one part-web being detached by scraping from the envelope surface of the cylinder at a first web-detaching point while the other part-web, still adhered to the envelope surface, accompanies said surface to a second web-detaching point which, in circumferential direction, is situated at a predetermined distance from said first web-detaching point, to be detached by scraping from the envelope surface of the cylinder, and in that at least one part-web is simultaneously creped while being detached, in order to obtain a creped paper web of predetermined width.
The device according to the invention is characterized in - that it includes at least two doctor blades arranged in operative conjunction with said cylinder to form a first web-detaching point and a second web-detaching point, respectively, the latter being situated a predetermined distance in circumferential direction from the first web-detaching point, - that the doctor blade forming the first web-detaching point is arranged to divide the formed paper web into a Fi rr.+- r,~rt _r.roh ~H t ho e~mo t i me oc. ; t ~of o~~oc i t W r scraping from the envelope surface, and a second part-web which, still adhered to the envelope surface, accompanies this surface to the second web-detaching point, the doctor blade of which is arranged to detach the second part-web by scraping, and - that at least one of the doctor blades is a creping doctor blade.

According to the present invention the formed paper web 1 is divided in longitudinal direction into at least two part-webs in connection to the drying cylinder 3 at its downstream side.
In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2 the formed paper web 1 is divided into two part-webs, namely a first part-web a and a second part-web 9, by the first part-web 8 being detached by scraping from the envelope surface 4 of the cylinder 3 at a first web-detaching point 10 while the other part-web 9, still adhered to the envelope surface 4, accompanies this surface to a second web-detaching point 11 which, in circumferential direction, is situated at a predetermined distance from said first web-detaching point 10. The second part-web 9 is detached by scraping from the envelope surface 4 of the cylinder 3. In the embodiment according to Figures 1 and 2 the first part-web 8 is simultaneously creped while being detached, in order to obtain a creped paper web 12 of predetermined width. For this purpose the first web-detaching point 10 includes a creping doctor 13 having a doctor blade 14 arranged in scraping contact with the envelope surface 4, more specifically with its said adhesive coating. The doctor blade 14 has a continuous scraping edge 15 with an active length corresponding to the width of the creped paper web 12.
The scraping edge may extend outside the formed paper web, but this extension is then inactive. In the embodiment according to Figures 1 and 2 the second part-web 9 is detached without creping and thus constitutes and edge trimming 16 which is conveyed down into a container or area to be returned for dissolving and re-use in the paper-manufacturing process. The second web-detaching point 11 includes a cleaning doctor 17 with a doctor blade 18 for scraping off the edge trimming 16 frr,m tb,o ~r7hco; era nnat i nn nn f'hP PntrP~ nTP CllYf ana d Tho doctor blade 18 of the cleaning doctor 17 extends between the ends of the drying cylinder 3 in order to smooth out the adhesive coating after its contact with the formed paper web 1. If desired a shorter doctor may be used to 5 scrape off the edge trimming 16, in which case the length of the active scraping edge of the doctor blade corresponds to the width of the edge trimming 16. In this case a cleaning doctor may be arranged downstream of the second web-detaching point 11 if desired. In l~he 10 embodiment according to Figure 2 the creped paper web 12 obtains a straight edge 19 due to the dividing procedure described which in this case constitutes edge-trimming on one side, the other edge 20 remaining unaffec~~ed, which may be accepted. If desired, or deemed necess~3ry, the other edge 20 may consist of an edge previously trimmed in the wet section, which has been achieved b,~ any known technology. Alternatively such optional trimming may be performed after the drying cylinder in accord~~nce with some known technology.
In the embodiment according to Figure 3 the formed paper web 1 is divided in the same way as in the embodiment according to Figure 2 but the second part-web 9 is also creped off the envelope surface in order to obtain a second creped paper web 21 of predetermined width. The two creped paper webs 12 and 21 may have the same width or different widths. The creping doctor 13 is thus shorter in this case than in the embodiment according to Figure 2. The second web-detaching point 11 in this case has a creping doctor 22 with a doctor blade 23 arranged in scraping contact with the envelope surface 4, more specifically with its adhesive coating. The doctor blade 23 has a continuous scraping edge 24 with an active length corresponding to the width of the creped paper web 21. If desired a cleaning doctor may be arranged downstream of the second creping blade 22.

A special feature of this embodiment according to Figure: 3 is that two creped pa~~er webs 12, 21 are obtained with different dry solids content as a result of the longer tame the second part-w~~b 9 remains in contact with the hot envelope surf;~ce 4. According to and alternative of the embodiment shown in Figure 3 three or more creeping doctors are arranged stepwise one after the other, i.e.
displaced axi~~lly and circumferentially, in order to obtain three or more creped paper webs, in which case two or n-1 dividi:~g lines are formed, where n is t:he number of creped paper webs.

This, therefore, constitutes another alternative embodiment tnot shown) of the invention.
Three part-webs are produced in the embodiment: according to Figure 4, ~t.he first part-web 8 and the second part-web 9 being similar to those in the embodiment according to Figure 2, while the third part-web 25 is simi7.ar to said second part-web 9 and thus constitutes a second edge trimming 26.

predetermined width is obtained, which is trirnmed along both sides.
The embodiment according to Figure 5 is similar to that according to Figure 4 but includes a creping doctor 27, the doctor blade 28 of which is provided with a free space in the form of a U-shaped recess 29, seen more clearly in Figure 7, so that the doctor blade 28 has two continuous scraping edges 30, 31. The formed paper web 1 i R i n thi ~ ca ar~ ~ i vi ~iPr1 i nt-~ f i vP narr -wPh~ . 1-hP f i rat WO 99158763 PCT/SE99/00~03 part-web 8 and the third part-web 32 being cre:ped off at the first web-detaching point 10 at an axial distance from each other in order to obtain two creped paper webs 12, 33 of the same width or different predetermined widths, while the second part-web 9 formed between the first part-weh a and the third part-web 32 by the double dividing, and the fourth part-web 34 and the fifth part-web 35, ;still adhered to the envelope surface 4, accompany said surface to the second web-detaching point 11 to be detached by a common doctor blade 39 to obtain a first edge trimming 36, an intermediate trimming 37 and a second edge trimming 38. The recess 29 or other free space has an axial dimension of at least 5 mm,. preferably at least 10 mem, and a depth perpendicular to the axial dimension, which is at least twice the thickness of the formed paper web 1 at the web-detaching point l0.
The embodiment shown in Figure 6 is similar to that in Figure 5 except that no edge trimmings are obtained since the doctor blade 28 of the creping doctor 27 :is extended up to and slightly past the side edges of the formed paper web. The formed paper web 1 is thus in ~chis case divided into~three part-webs by the first~par~t-web 8 and the third part-web 32 being creped off at the first web-detaching point 10 axially spaced from ea~~h other, to obtain two creped paper webs 12, 33 of the same width or different predetermined widths, while the second part-web 9 formed between the first part-web 8 and the third part-web 32 by the double splitting, still adhered to the envelope surface 4, accompanies this surface to the second web-detaching point 11 to be detached by means of a doctor blade 39 to obtain an intermediate trimming 37.
Each corner portion 40 (see Figure 7) of a doctor blade 14, 23, 28, producing a division is defined b~y the scraping edge' 15, 24, 30, 31 and a cross edge 41, 42 thorAnf rhr~ a~rani na Pr3aP anrl tha ~rnR~ P~aP fc~rmina a WO 99/x8763 PCT/SE99/00703 right angle with each other and meeting in a point to achieve maximum cutting effect. Said cross edges are thus formed by each end edge of the doctor blade that is situated at a dividing point, and also by each side edge of the recess 29, as shown in Figure '7.
In conjunction with such a right-angled corner portion 40, and in line with said cross edge 41, 42, an application device (not shown) may be arranged to apply a thin water jet onto the formed paper web, immediately before the cutting tip of the doctor blade, so that the web is moistened somewhat in the following dividing line without affecting the fiber structure. The water jet provides a moist dividing indication which facilitates dividing of the formed paper web with the cutting tip of the doctor blade and ensures that the part-web not scraped off does not loosen from the adhesive coating within the dividing area.
The distance between the two web-detaching points lo, 11 or between two consecutive web-detaching points if there are more than two, may vary as desired. The smallest distance that can be used is very small, i.e. a few mm, - ' at least 2 mrn, for instance, which can be sufficient to achieve the dividing aimed at. According to an alternative embodiment (not shown) for Figure 3, for instance, two doctor blades are arranged after each other and end to end to crepe off each one part-web 8, 9. The doctor blades are then somewhat displaced in circumferential direction in relation to each other, e.g.
at least 2 mm, so that cutting of the formed paper web has time to take place before the web reaches the second doctor blade forming the second web-detaching point. The doctor blades are suitably located in different planes forming an acute angle with each other so that they can be mounted with the same angle of contact. However, rii ffc~rPnt annl Pci of rnnYat~t may hc~ mad fnr i-i~P twn doctor blades for different creping situations, even if the blades are in different planes. If the distance between the two web-detaching points is small it is advantageous to arrange two doctor blades in one and the same support body with a separately adjustable holder fox each doctor blade. In an alternative embodiment the two doctor blades are arranged in the same support body and the same holder, the doctor blades having different heights in order to obtain Said distance of at least 2 mm between the two web-detaching points.
In the embodiments shown the formed paper web is transferred to a drying cylinder, e.g. a Yankee cylinder, in which case the creping is performed as dry creping.
Creping can also be performed as wet creping and in this case the formed paper web is transferred to a cylinder with a smooth envelope surface that does not have the drying capacity of the drying cylinder. Drying is subsequently performed using through-blow technique.
The invention is not limited to any particular type of paper machine. Any machine can be used that is designed for the manufacture of creped material including' cellulosic fiber material and synthetic fiber material.
In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2 the formed paper web 1 is divided into two part-webs, namely a first part-web a and a second part-web 9, by the first part-web 8 being detached by scraping from the envelope surface 4 of the cylinder 3 at a first web-detaching point 10 while the other part-web 9, still adhered to the envelope surface 4, accompanies this surface to a second web-detaching point 11 which, in circumferential direction, is situated at a predetermined distance from said first web-detaching point 10. The second part-web 9 is detached by scraping from the envelope surface 4 of the cylinder 3. In the embodiment according to Figures 1 and 2 the first part-web 8 is simultaneously creped while being detached, in order to obtain a creped paper web 12 of predetermined width. For this purpose the first web-detaching point 10 includes a creping doctor 13 having a doctor blade 14 arranged in scraping contact with the envelope surface 4, more specifically with its said adhesive coating. The doctor blade 14 has a continuous scraping edge 15 with an active length corresponding to the width of the creped paper web 12.
The scraping edge may extend outside the formed paper web, but this extension is then inactive. In the embodiment according to Figures 1 and 2 the second part-web 9 is detached without creping and thus constitutes and edge trimming 16 which is conveyed down into a container or area to be returned for dissolving and re-use in the paper-manufacturing process. The second web-detaching point 11 includes a cleaning doctor 17 with a doctor blade 18 for scraping off the edge trimming 16 frr,m tb,o ~r7hco; era nnat i nn nn f'hP PntrP~ nTP CllYf ana d Tho doctor blade 18 of the cleaning doctor 17 extends between the ends of the drying cylinder 3 in order to smooth out the adhesive coating after its contact with the formed paper web 1. If desired a shorter doctor may be used to 5 scrape off the edge trimming 16, in which case the length of the active scraping edge of the doctor blade corresponds to the width of the edge trimming 16. In this case a cleaning doctor may be arranged downstream of the second web-detaching point 11 if desired. In l~he 10 embodiment according to Figure 2 the creped paper web 12 obtains a straight edge 19 due to the dividing procedure described which in this case constitutes edge-trimming on one side, the other edge 20 remaining unaffec~~ed, which may be accepted. If desired, or deemed necess~3ry, the other edge 20 may consist of an edge previously trimmed in the wet section, which has been achieved b,~ any known technology. Alternatively such optional trimming may be performed after the drying cylinder in accord~~nce with some known technology.
In the embodiment according to Figure 3 the formed paper web 1 is divided in the same way as in the embodiment according to Figure 2 but the second part-web 9 is also creped off the envelope surface in order to obtain a second creped paper web 21 of predetermined width. The two creped paper webs 12 and 21 may have the same width or different widths. The creping doctor 13 is thus shorter in this case than in the embodiment according to Figure 2. The second web-detaching point 11 in this case has a creping doctor 22 with a doctor blade 23 arranged in scraping contact with the envelope surface 4, more specifically with its adhesive coating. The doctor blade 23 has a continuous scraping edge 24 with an active length corresponding to the width of the creped paper web 21. If desired a cleaning doctor may be arranged downstream of the second creping blade 22. The same "~.~l;oo ti, tlwa r,mtor v.rcl-~ Prinaa nr,t affcrt-cr7 l-mr t-ha WO 99/58763 PCT/SE99/00'f03 dividing proc~as as explained for the edge 20. A special feature of this embodiment according to Figure: 3 is that two creped pa~~er webs 12, 21 are obtained with different dry solids content as a result of the longer tame the second part-w~~b 9 remains in contact with the hot envelope surf;~ce 4. According to and alternative of the embodiment shown in Figure 3 three or more creeping doctors are arranged stepwise one after the other, i.e.
displaced axi~~lly and circumferentially, in order to obtain three or more creped paper webs, in which case two or n-1 dividi:~g lines are formed, where n is t:he number of creped paper webs. The lengths of the doctor blades may be the same or different and together the~~ cover the width of the :Formed paper web 1 possibly minus the width of one or two edge trimming which may be achieved as shown for the embodiment in Figure 2. This, therefore, constitutes another alternative embodiment tnot shown) of the invention.
Three part-webs are produced in the embodiment: according to Figure 4, ~t.he first part-web 8 and the second part-web 9 being similar to those in the embodiment according to Figure 2, while the third part-web 25 is simi7.ar to said second part-web 9 and thus constitutes a second edge trimming 26. The cleaning doctor 17 is used here to scrape off both edge trimmings 16, 26. In the embodiment according to E'igure 4 a creped paper web 12 oi:
predetermined width is obtained, which is trirnmed along both sides.
The embodiment according to Figure 5 is similar to that according to Figure 4 but includes a creping doctor 27, the doctor blade 28 of which is provided with a free space in the form of a U-shaped recess 29, seen more clearly in Figure 7, so that the doctor blade 28 has two continuous scraping edges 30, 31.

The recess 29 or other free space has an axial dimension of at least 5 mm,. preferably at least 10 mem, and a depth perpendicular to the axial dimension, which is at least twice the thickness of the formed paper web 1 at the web-detaching point l0.
The embodiment shown in Figure 6 is similar to that in Figure 5 except that no edge trimmings are obtained since the doctor blade 28 of the creping doctor 27 :is extended up to and slightly past the side edges of the formed paper web. The formed paper web 1 is thus in ~chis case divided into~three part-webs by the first~par~t-web 8 and the third part-web 32 being creped off at the first web-detaching point 10 axially spaced from ea~~h other, to obtain two creped paper webs 12, 33 of the same width or different predetermined widths, while the second part-web 9 formed between the first part-web 8 and the third part-web 32 by the double splitting, still adhered to the envelope surface 4, accompanies this surface to the second web-detaching point 11 to be detached by means of a doctor blade 39 to obtain an intermediate trimming 37.
Each corner portion 40 (see Figure 7) of a doctor blade 14, 23, 28, producing a division is defined b~y the scraping edge' 15, 24, 30, 31 and a cross edge 41, 42 thorAnf rhr~ a~rani na Pr3aP anrl tha ~rnR~ P~aP fc~rmina a WO 99/x8763 PCT/SE99/00703 right angle with each other and meeting in a point to achieve maximum cutting effect. Said cross edges are thus formed by each end edge of the doctor blade that is situated at a dividing point, and also by each side edge of the recess 29, as shown in Figure '7.
In conjunction with such a right-angled corner portion 40, and in line with said cross edge 41, 42, an application device (not shown) may be arranged to apply a thin water jet onto the formed paper web, immediately before the cutting tip of the doctor blade, so that the web is moistened somewhat in the following dividing line without affecting the fiber structure. The water jet provides a moist dividing indication which facilitates dividing of the formed paper web with the cutting tip of the doctor blade and ensures that the part-web not scraped off does not loosen from the adhesive coating within the dividing area.
The distance between the two web-detaching points lo, 11 or between two consecutive web-detaching points if there are more than two, may vary as desired. The smallest distance that can be used is very small, i.e. a few mm, - ' at least 2 mrn, for instance, which can be sufficient to achieve the dividing aimed at. According to an alternative embodiment (not shown) for Figure 3, for instance, two doctor blades are arranged after each other and end to end to crepe off each one part-web 8, 9. The doctor blades are then somewhat displaced in circumferential direction in relation to each other, e.g.
at least 2 mm, so that cutting of the formed paper web has time to take place before the web reaches the second doctor blade forming the second web-detaching point. The doctor blades are suitably located in different planes forming an acute angle with each other so that they can be mounted with the same angle of contact. However, rii ffc~rPnt annl Pci of rnnYat~t may hc~ mad fnr i-i~P twn doctor blades for different creping situations, even if the blades are in different planes. If the distance between the two web-detaching points is small it is advantageous to arrange two doctor blades in one and the same support body with a separately adjustable holder fox each doctor blade. In an alternative embodiment the two doctor blades are arranged in the same support body and the same holder, the doctor blades having different heights in order to obtain Said distance of at least 2 mm between the two web-detaching points.
In the embodiments shown the formed paper web is transferred to a drying cylinder, e.g. a Yankee cylinder, in which case the creping is performed as dry creping.
Creping can also be performed as wet creping and in this case the formed paper web is transferred to a cylinder with a smooth envelope surface that does not have the drying capacity of the drying cylinder. Drying is subsequently performed using through-blow technique.
